Cemetery Services Master Plan
At its meeting of November 1, 2021, Thorold City Council adopted the Lakeview Cemetery Master Plan that will serve to guide future planning and maintenance for its cemetery services, and the development and management of all the cemeteries that are owned or managed by the City. The report concluded that there are some significant challenges caused primarily by the potential relocation of graves from Old Lakeview to New Lakeview, it has been determined that there are sufficient land resources to ensure that through careful planning, efficient design, and the implementation of appropriate Business Structures to ensure the Cemetery is well managed, Lakeview Cemetery has the potential to provide for the burial and memorialization needs for its patrons well into the future. Care must be taken to ensure that the operation of the Cemetery meets all regulatory requirements, operational standards, and an appropriate level-of-service for its patrons. This Master Plan will also guide the municipality in Lakeview Cemetery becoming a self-sustaining enterprise.
